A Georgian home which was the scene of a shocking double murder is on the market near Wymondham for a whopping £5.2million.
Stanfield Hall is a Grade II listed manor which was built in 1792 on the site of a former chapel.
In 1848, it was the location of the shocking double murder of owner Isaac Jermy and his son by their tenant farmer, James Blomfield Rush.
Rush, covered by a mask, shot Isaac outside before entering the house to kill his son.
It took a jury just 10 minutes to find Rush guilty and his hanging at Norwich Castle was attended by 15,000 people.
The hall, which was visited by Charles Dickens after the murders, has monastic stonework and ceiling beams from the 1500s as well as features such as period cornicing and galleried landings.
It opens to the reception hall and centre hall which have vaulted ceilings and stone fireplaces.
To the left are the sitting and drawing rooms with views of the gardens.
The library, the wood-panelled dining room, the snug and the kitchen with a pantry and island are to the right of the building.
The home also features a gym and an indoor pool with a changing room.
Upstairs there is a cinema room and six bedrooms, five of which have en suites. The principal bedroom has a large dressing room and bathroom.
And on the second floor are three further bedrooms, three bathrooms, a sitting room and a dressing room.
The surrounding 35-acre parkland means the hall has no near neighbours. It has a lawn, pond, kitchen garden, tennis court and woodland.
On the grounds is Nutwood Cottage, a two-bed with a sitting room, kitchen and conservatory.
